Windows 10: Unable to sign into Win 10 on my desktop.

I must have done something, don't know what, to lock me out of Windows. On my PC , when I try to sign in (I usually use a PIN) I get "The password is incorrect. Try again." I try again with the same result. I switch to a real password. No luck. I am advised to "Reset password" using a password reset disk, which I don't have.

It has been a long time since I used a password for this and I may have changed it. I try every password I can think of with no luck.

Every couple of months I clone my main drive for protection. I plug in the cloned SSD and open Win10 (using a PIN) with no trouble. I change my MS password. The new password works on the clone and on this laptop I'm using now. But the new password does not work when I try again to open Win10 on my master SSD.

I could backward clone from my backup SSD to the master but I'd lose a couple of months' data.

windows 10 deleted my desktop files

Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

copied all files again to desktop.

Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

• Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
• Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
• Click on Users, select your User name
• Go to desktop folder

Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

 

After installing windows 10, desktop has no icons and flashes

Any suggestions?

 

Move Favorites icon to desktop win-10

Your suggestion does not work. It did work on Windows 7.
